I spent a day at OWS with The Kominas. It was amazingly diverse, emotional, and in some ways very organised despite being anarchic.

People were there for different reasons and with different goals. Some want to voice specific issues or campaign for policies, for others OWS is itself the goal - as an alternative way of organising society and its needs cooperatively.

Geraldo Rivera and Fox News were there to report "objectively" on the movement, but it didn't quite work out for him....

  • Guy at 2:57 could you come closer to the camera please?

  • I guess I'm suffering from burnout after being "active" for 15 years. I personally haven't been down to OWS cos of the fact that people tend to hijack protests & demonstrations and the orginal message becomes diluted (lost in the sauce). Thanks for posting Riz. If you're in NYC, maybe we should hangout. Facebook: Caryn D Prescott Call or message me. Piece ;}

  • 12:03... We want lasting change... we don't want buildings in flames...

  • @anonymouse1969 You know, this is part of the problem, people like you who think we all need to look and act alike. If you really think you can't be honest and hard working and have long hair, go back to the 1950's. Idiot!

  • It's funny, they have lots of opinions on lots of things...all true....but THEY ALL AGREE FOX NEWS LIES!

  • If this kid looked more professional maybe he could get hired by a corporation and payoff his student loans. Just a thought.

  • its quite amazing how in just over a month an infostructure has been created from nothing from people who have nothing but a voice of ethical intent. Im going to OLSX next weekend and i look forwards to what amazing things can be achieved without capitalism.

  • 1 idea for every ,,

    if you don;t agree with the banks why not just withdraw ur money from them?

    keep ur money with urself
